It's true, Saddam does have a past relationship with Al-Qeada. They tried to kill him twice. UPDATE: Just saw a new poll today, apparently 73% of Republicans polled believed not only that Saddam was directly behind the 9/11 attacks but also that WMDs had been FOUND in Iraq. If you'll recall Bush actually said Saddam attacked us in the first debate. A difference of opinion is fine but the fact that so many continue to believe blatant untruths is a disturbing stigma in an electoral democracy.
